Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images Many of these players will probably be non-tendered. MLB Trade Rumors posted Tuesday their annual estimates for arbitration salaries for next season.

Photo by Matt Dirksen/Chicago Cubs/Getty Images Obviously, we wish this year’s Cubs would have done better. But there were still some performances to celebrate. As they did in 2023, the Cubs dug themselves a deep hole early on this year, went on a pretty good run and were briefly in a wild-card spot, then couldn’t hold on to it in September. They did finish 83-79, the same record as last y...2024
